One Piece: Gambling to The Top

Two days and few hours were left for the public execution of Ace and the big war.

Josh, who wanted to benefit from the peace, had decided that he wouldn't allow it.

He also came to a way that would do him more favour.

It was the morning, on one of the random islands that has a big bank in the middle.

Robin used to sell jewels here, and she had told Josh that this bank deal legally and illegally with gold, making it a perfect place.

Holding a bottle of Rum, a tanned man with hair braids entered the bank's entrance. Just by his look, he seemed to be a sailor.

"Hold on there. What are you trying to do here." Said the man at the entrance of the bank.

"I'm…" the man put his hand under his chin, as if he was thinking. The guard raised his eyebrows. The man then said. "I'm going to rob the bank, and take all of the gold, before venturing in the grand line."

The man in the entrance laughed when his eyes met with sailor. "Are you seriously telling the truth."

"Do you think it's the truth?" he asked.

"If it was the truth, you wouldn't have said it."Said the guard, knowing that little man like this doesn't look that strong. He looked at the rum bottle, thinking that the man's brain is somewhere else. Besides, only strong pirate crews can rob such a place, and they don't dare, unless they wanted to be hunted by the underworld bosses and the navy.

"But only then you wouldn't think it's the truth."

"Are you drunk?"

"Maybe."

He replied.

The guard put his hand on his shoulder, trying to push him away. The sailor looking man dodged, lifted him, and threw him inside. The people in the bank were waiting for their turn. They turned their heads upon seeing the figure of the guard flying, and then, a man jumped and landed on the table.

"Attention, gentlemen. You are being rubbed by Captain Jack Sparrow." Said Josh, trying to earn a bounty for himself. "Please, hand everything you have, and you will leave alive."

"Hey, do you know who own this place?"

Josh turned his head to the man who yelled. Given his clothes, Josh assumed that he is the managed. Josh held the rum's bottle and threw it at him, breaking it on his head and rendering him unconscious.

"Does anyone not taking me seriously."

He kicked on the ground, making it shake. The normal citizen realised that they are weak against such form of power. Josh was having a saber around his belt. He grabbed it and waved it, splitting the bank wide open.

Soon, a worker came to josh, shaking. He said that he would do his demand, as long as he let them live. Josh, or Jack Sparrow as he is, smiled and said.

"Show me the closet, where you keep the gold and the money."

Since the banks has enough cash to cash pirates and deal with rich businessmen and businesswomen, Josh assumed that they should have billions.

Bounty hunting isn't the best place to earn money. Stealing places that the economy depends on is the best way.

The worker took Josh and showed him a large closet, and it was made of steel, and it was very thick. Nevertheless, Josh sliced it with his sword, revealing a large place full of gold and cash.

Depending on his high speed, Josh grabbed a large sack and put everything. Actually, it was like ten sacks.

"Sir, it weighs several tons. Can you lift it."

"It's nothing." He said, lifting them above his head.

As he was walking outside, he turned to the worker and said. "Call the marines. Tell them Jack Sparrow was here, and here is my picture."

He reached his coat and threw it at him.

Leaving the guards mouth wide opened, Josh left running, into a near ship in the sea. He had taken his time, putting the gold there, and he felt quite happy. He had just stolen 2 Billions, without mentioning the gold.

'Hehe Boy! I need to rub the rest of the places, and raise my bounty.'

Before the marines could arrive, Josh sailed in the sea. He used Storm Arms to gain his ship momentum to move, and he reached his destinations very quickly, since he has a compass that points into any place he wanted to visit.

Josh arrived at 3 islands in total, rubbing the banks from the gold.

Josh had, not only given a hit to the justice system, but to the economic system. The people would suffer, especially the riches who put their money in those banks. Nevertheless, Josh didn't feel sorry for them.

His actions are going to stop a great war that should affect the lives of the innocents. Josh was doing them a service, which wasn't free.

All for the greater good. It's win win.

Josh had made sure to make everyone remember the name of the character he had created — Jack Sparrow. Josh had also fought few royal guards and strong guards. Josh had won against them with ease, since he was a level above them — the difference was like the one between heaven and earth.

Josh needed to get a good bounty to make sure that he would go to the deepest level of Impel Down. He had to admit, looking at the amount of the gold and money he is gaining, Josh thought why he had never done this before. Had he done it, he would had been stronger than ever. But again, Josh hadn't been able to change his look in the past at will.

It was the middle of the night, and Josh was standing on his boat. Josh felt that his ship was already heavy from the gold. After storing the money in his system, Josh found that he got 5000 points. Very soon, Carlos should send him another amount of money, making him having 7000 points.

While looking at the gold, Josh thought that it would worth more berries than the money. However, he can't just store it. Nevertheless, Josh had thought about a solution.

Josh turned back into his usual look.

"Come out, Bitch!"

As he yelled, a large snake, 200 meters long, got out of the water. It was colossal, large enough to lift the ship on its head. Josh looked at the ship that was full of gold, yellow, shining, and very beautiful. He let a sigh in his heart at the unwillingness of letting it go. But he had no choice. Josh would have the time later to enjoy the money while in peace.

Josh gave the sneak a big steak of meat. She let happy voices at the smell of the good food. "Now, go to Hancock and hide the gold there."

The snake nodded. Josh lifted the ship and started throwing the gold sacks on its mouth. Bitch nodded and sank in the water, before swimming back to water 7.

Although it is hard to navigate in the Grand Line, that's only for humans. Fishman and sea kings and the rest of the monsters knows the directions by instinct. Birds always knows where the south is without the need of a compass.

Josh then turned back into Jack Sparrow look.

"I should now wait for the morning."

He muttered as he walked to the corner of the ship, holding the compass. After he thought about the nearest Marine-base, Josh set the sail to it. By this morning, he should have gotten a huge bounty for stealing all of that gold. The World Government should put him on the lowest level, because they wouldn't want to torture him until he gets the money. And then, he would make a chaos in the jail and leave.

'Now I think about it, I should have played Michael Scofield.' He shook his head. He started this as pirate, and he will ended it up as a pirate.
